- eeeks! Let me post something to clarify dear Snotra!
Changing names and changing name tags is a little different. Member names, specifically usernames, because I would hope you'd choose to keep your real name in real life, are somewhat hard to change. With 38,580 members as of this instant, makes for a lot of unique names!

My proposal was to make unique titles (name tags) for those members who are extremely involved in making this community the place that it is and have attained the level of Specialist. In that time, they have shared with us various quirks, wisdom and bloopers that pave the way to making a natural nametag. Marta, Joe and I will be going through and voting on the designations and they will be up for discussion to make sure that each nametag fits appropriately.

With that said, I hope you see that I meant the changes are ONLY in the member title/role=name tag and NOT their actual username.

When I first learned the process of renaming a user for the purpose of becoming an administrator (since we all have our first names as our user names), I had made a mistake in not checking the case sensitivity of letters in their name (remember Helen?) and somehow I managed to link helen from India with Helen from Estonia. Needless to say, I didn't do that again! But, please, I won't be able to flawlessly change EVERYONE's actual usernames, so instead, help me out with making "Specialists" feel more welcome!

I am voting for webcam nudist! Don't get me wrong, Ulven, I am not suggesting that you actually take your clothes off. But it is hilarious and it would scare the life out of anyone new whenever you showed up in the Classroom room.
